The list, distributed to a group of campaign donors in Washington and obtained by The Tennessean, gives a sense of who could help carry the Democratic president’s message to voters across the country over the next 10 months. It’s full of musicians, athletes, movie stars, elected officials, Cabinet members (though not Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Obama’s former rival) and other politicos.

The names of those celebrities and 190 more — many of them household names — appear on a list of potential surrogates circulated by President Barack Obama’s campaign last month.

It is a who's who from Hollywood to NYC. Some are no brainers, but some I was surprised.

Looks like the Dumb Ass in Chief has not only stuck his foot in it, has stuck other things in it and left deposits.

How many little Barry's are running around that we don't know about?

What about back child support?

YEP.

President Obama, speaking last night in Chicago at a fundraiser at a private home, unloaded this bombshell:
Obama, according to the White House transcript, talked about “The first bill I signed — a bill that said that we’re going to have equal pay for equal work because I want my daughters treated the same way as my sons.”

Police say Ibarra-Hernandez lured officers to Alabama City west of Wall Street by shooting out store windows. He then opened fire on the officers for about 30 minutes before being pinned down and surrendering, Captain Regina May with the Gadsden Police Department said.

Officers responded to the Auto Zone and discovered that the front door had been shattered by a bullet. After completing a police report at Auto Zone, police heard more gunfire in the area, May said. Another glass break alarm went off at the Rainbow Food Mart and officers observed glass had been broken from a gunshot.

As police completed their report on the Rainbow Food Mart incident, the officers saw a suspicious person lurking in the area around 2:55 a.m., according to May.

Ibarra-Hernandez ran from police and the officers pursued him on foot. More officers responded to the activity in the Alabama City area. While running through the streets and alleyways, the suspect opened fire on several of the law enforcement officers chasing him. Police officers took cover behind trees and vehicles and set up a perimeter around the suspect, May said. More law enforcement agencies arrived to the scene to offer support.

Long-time Harris County Precinct One Constable Jack Abercia has been arrested, along with his Chief Lieutenant Weldon Kenneth Wiener and Office Chief Michael Butler, following the return of a 13-count federal indictment, United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced Thursday.

The sealed indictment was returned Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012, and was unsealed in its entirety Thursday morning following the arrests of Abercia, 78, Wiener, 72, and Butler, 56, all of Houston.

The indictment charges all three with conspiracy to violate various federal laws, and charges Abercia and Wiener with unlawfully accessing the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database on multiple occasions for private financial gain. Abercia and Butler are also charged with bribery in connection with the hiring of an otherwise unqualified applicant for a deputy constable position in return for a cash bribe totaling $5,000.

In the City of Milwaukee, Dist 1, a voter used only a magazine subscription invoice as proof of residence, then vouched for someone else’s residency.

1,021 Election Day Registration forms in City of Milwaukee had the proof of residency left blank.

In Greenfield, a voter used their Ohio driver’s license and a passport as proof that they lived in Wisconsin. That same person then corroborated for someone else with the same last name and at the same address, who also only a had passport.

A voter used a Traffic Citation from the State of Illinois to prove Wisconsin Residency.

Several citizens moved to Milwaukee County and registered to vote using out of state drivers licenses for proof of residency. There is nothing on the registration form to indicate the Poll Worker saw anything else to substantiate the residency requirements.

Three individuals used hotel receipts to substantiate their proof of residency. Two also provided out of state drivers licenses and a third person used their military identification card to register and vote.

A citizen registered once using their WI Drivers License then returned to the polling location some time later and registered a second time using a utility bill. In both cases, this person voted. It was not caught by the municipality during their review of forms to update the state Voter Registration System. However, we turned this information over to the Milwaukee County District Attorney office.

Numerous citizens completed their voter registration forms and there was no indication that the Poll Worker verified the eligibility or identity of the person registering to vote.

Numerous corroborators failed to list their address on the registration form as required.

On a side note. The firewall at work places Wisconsin Grand Sons of Liberty in the " Hate & Intolerance" category and blocks the site. I have found this to be with most of the Liberty movement sites.

An infant’s cries rang through the Occupy DC encampment in McPherson Square Wednesday morning, and when a group went to investigate they found only a baby girl alone in a tent, wearing a onesie and mittens.

Soon after, authorities said, a man had been arrested and the girl — who was unharmed — was in the city’s care.

The campers notified U.S. Park Police officers and then cared for the girl until help arrived, according to Kelly Canavan, 36, a retired Prince George’s County school teacher who has been living at the camp.
